A member asked:

Do i take miralax (polyethylene glycol) in the morning or at night?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Either time if good.: If you haven't had a bowel movement and are using MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) now try it now if it is early in the day. If it is later then try it in the evening. If no effects by morning then repeat a dose.
